Kids playing at the beach on the Puget Sound

We all went up to our friends Errin and Tam's house in Buckley, WA just east of Seattle for a couple of days.  After spending time playing around the house and riding Taylor and Tanners dirt bikes, we spent an afternoon at the beach.  We were in an area on the Puget Sound near Federal Way.  The four kids had fun playing on the beach and in the water.  The high light of the day was collecting Sand Dollars on the beach.
